make people pay

[namsteven]

Dear Teachers,

A. I want to do everything I can to have people pay attention to me.
- Can I say “………………………….to make people pay…………………….”?

B. I think your main concern should be to get him to stop cutting himself. Don’t overact to it too much, or he’ll get freaked out.
- What does “he’ll get freaked out” mean?

Thanks a million

A. Yes.

B. It should be "overreact". "He'll get freaked out" means "he'll get very upset", possibly to the point of being irrational.
